After the investigation, it was revealed that the root cause of the incident was a short-term degradation of the virtual disk system, which organically led to a drop in the activity of virtual machines and, accordingly, the traffic between them. At the same time, no real degradation of the network connectivity of virtual machines, either within the zone or with other zones, was revealed. The causes of the incident in the disk subsystem are being investigated, and we will report on them later.
